2012, P6 Overview

Tight Legs Tuesday to you!

Speaking of legs.  How are you feeling today?

If you’re uncomfortably sore, roll, stretch, walk, hydrate, eat clean and just move to loosen up.  Do some squats, lunges, dead lifts, leg swings, high knee hugs, …etc…, to help yourself feel better.

And we’ve got a BIG phase 6 overview.  You may want to skim some of it and copy, paste & print the workouts so you have them. If you bring a  copy to BC, I’ll review it with you if you like.

Phase 6 Calendar

Peaking for Q3 Testing

I’m showing you a calendar for the next 5 weeks so you can mentally & physically prepare to peak for your best day.

We test your physical performance to track how strong & fit you’ve become compared to your previous baselines, to your peers, to normative data, to CYBBC records or to serve as motivation to do better with your lifestyle outside of boot camp.

Challenge Workouts

Do them because you can and because you’re not like everyone else.  You make change happen!

Workout D

At the start of Q2 I said that summer 2012 was going to be your best ever.  The warm weather has arrived, we’ve been training you hard, you’ve been giving more & better efforts inside & outside of bc and it’s time to take it up a notch.  W-D will be a total body workout you can do at home, that is very simple, fun & short in duration.  It’s not the hardest or most complex workout I’ve ever written or you’ve ever done, but it is a workout to compound your other training and serve as a catalyst to spring you into your best summer ever by being a great burn & earn workout before a splurge and giving you a beach workout the day you go to the beach.
